Hooked up my battery yesterday for the season and the trim is working to move the drive up and down but I turn the key and getting nothing at the dash - no radio or anything else. Thoughts?? Help!!

It sounds like the ground. are all the grounds connected to the batteries?

Yup, sounds like a poor connection, most likely at the battery terminals. Take them off, clean them and then properly reconnect them. That way you know they're clean and connected securely. Better to extend the effort to be sure about them and eliminate them as a possible source of the problems. Electrical debugging is a PITA. But if you take it step-by-step and be methodical about it you'll find it.

Problem solved - missing one of the positive cables. The boat is sold by the way, with a 5 month old baby and 2 year old at home, it was time to sell the sport boat and start shopping for a Vista.

Thanks!!
